Classic Rock
The Lake District has some of the finest rock climbs in Britain, each with its own fascinating history. Many are celebrated in the late Ken Wilson's iconic coffee table book 'Classic Rock'. We aim to delve into some of these historic routes, especially those which have really captured your imagination. We will give you a varied and enjoyable time over anything from a single day to a full week of trad climbing as well as developing skills and your own personal climbing technique.
